I am always searching for different ways to apply makeup and to make my beauty routine easier. So, today not only will I be sharing my top 10 genius makeup tips and tricks, but I will also be sharing why they work or what the benefit is. Trick #1: Use Oil During Makeup Application This has been all over Insta lately and I have seen some brands even making some new oils specifically for this reason. Although I didn’t want to splurge on those products, so I used what I already owned. A face oil can help you blend your foundation so much easier and it also adds hydration to the skin as you do it. If you like the dewy look this is the way to achieve that. It leaves the skin looking fresh and glowy. You can do this by dropping 3-4 drops of your face oil onto a damp … Read More

Skincare is one of my favorite parts of my beauty routine. There is just something special about washing your face a feeling refreshed and moisturized. I believe that having a skincare routine is essential to keep your skin youthful and clean. You may want to have a routine but, it can start to become overwhelming as you are standing in the skin care aisle. So, today I am going to be sharing my tips on how to find the right products for you are for your skin type. The Basics I feel the first mistake most people make when going through their routine is the order they use each product. You want to apply your products from the lightest to heaviest. For example, makeup remover is super light and most of the time doesn’t leave any product on your face. The last product you should use (the heaviest) should be a night … Read More

It’s FINALLY here. Are you ready for it? I don’t think you are. Are you sure?! Well, okay, if you say so, then I guess I can tell you. For those of your that don’t know me, I am just a teeny tiny bit obsessed with all things Halloween. And obsessed may be a slight understatement. Last year I was the ever-so-fierce Maleficent and the year before I popped off the comic books pages as a Lichtenstein inspired character. This year’s costume is, drum roll and quick Usher dance please… an Antique Porcelain Doll. And yes, it is meant to thoroughly creep you out as much as possible. Sorry ’bout it. Thanks to the spot-on makeup skills of SN Makeup Artist Stephanie Neiheisel and the photography mastermind, Michelle Herrick of Michelle Herrick Photography, I was transformed into one of those dolls you felt like was always staring at you, no matter where you … Read More

Let’s face it ladies, breakouts cramp everyone’s style. The vast majority of the women who come to see me for help with their skin have a few things in common. 1) they’re breaking out. 2) they’re busy (ain’t nobody got time for bad skin). 3) they’re rockin’ their life (grinding at work or growing their biz, sharing their passions, and have a jam packed social life that slows down for no one). 4) they want to live their life with their held held high & would rather not have to be hiding any pimples. While acne is incredibly multifaceted, here are 4 easy ways busy #girlbosses can banish biz related breakouts. Tip #1: Stop touching yo face! Next time you’re working take notice of where your hands are. Almost every woman I work with, whose job entails a lot of reading or computer time, says they’ll inevitably rest their head … Read More

Hey everyone! I am starting a new series for the blog called “Focus of the Moment.” I am one of those artists that can’t stick to one subject matter for a long time so I decided to give you a peek into what I am focusing on for the next couple weeks. With summer being here everything seems to slow down, which let’s me focus on some projects of my own! Right now I have a fascination with painting makeup looks, so I have been practicing lips! I love the washy looks I am getting with the watercolor. I achieve multiple tones by using the layering method: thin coats of color placed on top of each other but letting each layer dry before applying the next. When I thought of doing this post for the blog I couldn’t help but think of the wonderful lip stain Heidi designed with Breanna Thomas … Read More

What #girlboss doesn’t deserve her own custom lip color, right?! Hi ladies! I’m SO excited to share a little bit about how & why I teamed up with Heidi of idieh design to create this perfect purple lip color. After meeting Heidi at a charity makeup event, we decided to collaborate on creating a lip shade that matched her favorite nail color. It took almost a year to get the shade just right, but the wait was worth it! After tons of experimentation and 11 test batches, we finally had a perfect match. My heart skipped a beat and it was a very happy day! Working as an aesthetician and a makeup artist for over 12 years, I am constantly encountering women who struggle with skin sensitivities & dry lips (Heidi & myself included). The ingredients contained in most lip stains, even vegan ones, can be absolutely appalling and I have … Read More
